This, for me, I look at the man and what he stands when I am trying to assess the policies he championed. Because for one, I do not have a list of the regulations he is repealing and secondly I do not know the weight of the one he is adding. For example he repealed the obamacare mandate that he repealed. For one, I am very happy about this repeal. The problem is that he did not repeal the regulation that required insurance companies to charge the same for both men and women and it did nothing about the mandate that required insurance companies to serve everyone including ones with pre existing conditions..
The problem comes when these companies start hurting because of the part he did not repleal, they will come to Trump and ask for more goodies and the last time companies were looking for a handout, Trump supported it.
So no, I cannot give him any credit yet. It is too early in the game to start singing anyone's praises

I wonder how many people cheering this silly deal would agree to give up their 2nd amendment right for a US guarantee of their safety. Yea, I thought so. Trump can shove that guarantee where the sun don't shine.
The US is relentless, they keep hacking away until they get the regime change they want. Kim Jon Il, do not trust the idiot with the orange hair cos the only guarantee is that the US govt(maybe with a diff president) will come after you.

Even if you believe what people say when they are campaigning. That still wouldn't mean he is going to support Trump's agenda. Heck Trump ran as a pro gun candidate and now he supports the anti gun laws sweeping the country. People not just politicians lie when they are trying to court you and this is why people should never believe campaign promises especially when they don't align with the person's history.
Pro tariff you say? Bernie Sander and many democrats are also pro tariff today and anti Pelosi just what democrats in Red states say when they are running, it is standard operating procedure.

I don't get it. Did u not smell it during the campaign? Or by the people he surrounds himself with. Trump love for the jewish people, Israel, zionism is one thing most consistent about him.
This is why I was so confused when some of u white nationalists kept supporting him despite this fact.

Tillerson was bad but Pompeo scares me, you get the sense that he cannot wait to test Russia on the battlefield. If you still believe Trump is fighting the deep state, hold the L on your forehead and wear it proudly.

Why do u talk like this? the query is about effect of the tariffs on auto jobs. Not the effect of the healthcare law on jobs. To simplify it for u, what do u think the effect of raising the cost of a materials used in building cars do to auto jobs? up, down or no effect?

But Trump is planning to exempt more countries which would mean even less effect on the job market. Btw I would like to see what would happen after 10 yrs plus of continuous tariffs. I think long term effect could lead to creation of homegrown industries and job growth. Sorta like the effect sanctions have on a country (see Russia, Iran and to an extent North Korea).

Not that I complete against tariff when I cheer lowering of taxes(not eliminating it). In the case with Trump, it is one the way this particular tariff is written. If it was an overall set rate for every goods coming into the country and it overall lowered the total amount of payment the state received(I believe the state has enough money already and should be reduced) then I wouldn't be complaining.
In my own opinion, I think tariffs are a much better option than income taxes.

That maybe true if the tariff was design to tax every import with steel it in. But the way I understand it, it only affects raw material not the finished products, so Americans would still be consuming just not what is made in the states. So the most likely outcome would be for producers to set up shop outside the country and then import the finished good. The reason behind the job loss
Nevermind, seeing as the top steel exporters (Canada and Mexico) are exempted from the tax, it would mostly likely have a minimal effect on job loss.

Forgive me, but I still have a hard time telling if u are serious with your posts or just trying to be funny. Remember that time u told me your wife didnt speak a lick of English. Anyway, communist countries do parade their tanks in their tracks. They don't wheel it or put em in wheels. They parade it with some kind of track and deal with the road damage later.
If this is one of your jokey posts then just ignore this post.

Turns out that the winner was allowed to take the winning by having her lawyer represent her. This is cannot be good for the integrity of the game. How long before we start having insiders win the majority of the lottery.
Don't get me wrong, if me a real person wins the big prize, I too would like to remain anonymous but I guess in some states, you can eat your cake and have it.

I have to say that this might be just one idea that goes against conventional wisdom and its so crazy that it might just work. For the record, I am against tariffs and taxes. I think the lower the better and if govt needs money, they should charger customers for the services they provide.
But guys, think of tariffs as sanctions against your country, it makes the country difficult to import foreign good and it forces the country to find ways to produces the items which is made difficult to import because of the sanction. Just think how Iranian, Russian and even North Korea to an extent developed home grown industries to survive the sanctioned levied against them.
My main problem with the way Trump enacted the tariffs is that it only applied to raw material and not finished products made with steel and aluminum. Essentially, the consumers will get around it by just buying the finished products from foreign countries.

NATO also promised Russia not to expand east of Berlin (or something like that) and I think Gaddafi made the same deal too when he got rid of his chemical weapons and look at what it got him. We would see how that works out for them in 10 yrs.

The guy is a liar. He said that she came to his door and "had her hands on the horn, the horn was just blarring", "punching his window" and "opening his door". No way all of that happened in the 2-3 seconds she stood outside his door. And lets not forget, he was obviously afraid of his life :rolleyes:. Come on people, had this lady used this excuse and pulled out a hand gun to blast the living day lights out of him when he got out of his car to confront the woman sitting in her car, nobody would buy the aggression from her.
Not saying you cannot never hit a woman but if you must, do it when you are in the right, every other options have been used to deescalate and also don't lie about it. I agree with Sean Connery on when to hit a woman and it should be of a last resort.

Not to Romney. He is the same person that came to Trump trying to get a position in his cabinet. I dunno what Trump told him to show up but he of all people should have known that he is not to be trusted.

I agree, I guess it would also be OK for govt to put a 1000% tax on sending email, posting on forums and writing equipment. Heck the 1st amendment never said anything about email or shyte posting on forums.
So yea, that wouldn't be OK for govt to impede by ability to buy bullets for my gun.

So if the tax is just on raw steel and aluminum, what would stop foreign countries from just making the finished product in their country and ship it over? i.e. ship the finished car instead of the steel to make the car with or are the tariffs on finished products higher than that of raw metal? If not, then this tariff is going to destroy the little manufacturing bas we have now.

Watch a bunch of progressives scratching their heads as to why Trump is all of a sudden veering left on guns and trade. Little did they know that the man has been a democrat all his life. He even said that the economy does best under democrats, he voted for Obama and up until he decided to run as a R, he was a campaign booster for the worst kind of democrats in Schummer, Pelosi and Reid.
To be fair to him anyone who believed his campaign rhetoric is just asking to be fooled. He has a long public history of promoting progressive policies.

3 generations is not enough time to cause a 40% plus decrease in sperm count. My guess is that they did not use the same population in the 50s as they did in modern times. That or people in the west are masturbating way too much.

Just at the point people are waking up to the controlled opposition fraud that is Alex Jones, he pulls this stunt with the help of the MSM to trying and regain a lot of the anti establishment street cred that he lost.
I really hope this backfires on him, yes they came for one of their own and I ignored their whining. If these people were really after him, all the MSM would have ignored his whining just like they avoid the war in Yemen.
Hold the line people, this is not your fight. Let the establishment eat their own. Taking Alex Jones out of the anti establishment media will free the spot light up for real alt media personalities like Ben Swann and James Corbett.

Technically the company wanted him to break the law in order to perform his job. He basically said no and he was fired. That should be some sort of a crime and maybe reason for a lawsuit.
I think he has a case. I can't believe they didn't try to settle before this became public news.
